Show us your redye A2s

[Chandler]

Here is my ELC View attachment 68942View attachment 68943RW 27752. In the way it has worn is far more akin to a redye like Jorge's or Grant's than it is to an original 27752 that develop a dark patina and reddish undertones. I actually bought the ELC because it was like a redye and I love it, it has a dark brown, slightly shiny finish instead of the matte brown of an original 27752. It is certainly more realistic than their 'reissue/escape a2' but I wouldn't say it was true to ww2 specView attachment 68944

What's the vintage of this ELC (if you know)?

I ask because it looks like one from the days when they first started aniline dying their jackets (early 2000s?).

I got to see a few different examples of those jackets -- from a couple Monarchs to a RW 1401, and always liked the look of the patina as it wore in.

I actually bought it new from ELC in about 2017 or there abouts, some panels are darker than others, beautiful leather, probably on the thicker side for an original but its breaking in nicely

Agreed -- nice looking piece.
